This video details the process that I plan to use in gluing a chunk of aluminum back to my LS1 engine block. The piece was broken off when the starter bracket broke, which left only one bolt holding the starter on the car. That one bolt eventually snapped a piece of the block off the motor.

  • That chrome stuff is so strong that it makes you fart...

  • @KeskinTRS lol! No, that was the milk. It does not agree with me but I love it.

  • Junkman, you have the most informative and interesting videos on the net. For that I say thank you. I bought a spoiler pre painted and it looked great when I put it on the car but now the clear coat somehow got some serious orange peal to where the paint looks faded and not shinny. Ill be using your vids to help me through. Thank you agian.

  • @Karnage543 Thanks for checking out the videos!

    It sounds like you have an oxidation problem going on. If you can't get the results you want, contact me over at Adam's Forums (Junkman2008), with some detailed pictures of what you are working with and I will assist you.

  • @perezownzu My bad, you're right! My buddy came up from Austin and I still have that on my mind. It's a old thang... you'll get there! lol!

  • @Junkman2000 you mean san antonio tx and i was there. me and my girl went to eat with you. and ended up staying at same hotel remember ?

  • @Junkman2000 Thank you sir. Much appreciated.

  • @TCDF22 Well, I know nothing about this stuff so I went with what the Permatex engineers told me. I still think the lack of being able to clamp the pieces together was my downfall. If I could clamp the pieces together, it may have worked.

  • just FYI, an etcher is best for cleaning alu parts (not for shine, for purpose). Granted you want to start with simple green or another good degreaser, but more for the mating surfaces you want to mate with two part compound. The advantage there is that you literally pit the alu and that lends to adhesion with the desired adhesive.

    It's not 1983, adhesives are PHENOMENAL these days. Add shavings, will travel.

    Always a fan of teh Junkman

  • Not great for metal but good for ya fingers huh? Put some gloves on buddy!!! lol
